2015 Map of Milpitas

About this map

Coyote Creek meanders through the heart of the South Bay, separating the industrial corridors of Milpitas and San Jose from the extensive salt ponds of the bay shore. This 2015 survey documents the high-density urban development characteristic of the Silicon Valley era, showing the intersection of technology and education at sites like Silicon Valley Univ and Heald College San Jose. Along the shoreline, a complex network of waterways including Alviso Slough and Artesian Slough highlights the managed landscape of Station Island and various salt ponds. The map captures the older residential and industrial pockets of Agnew and the Warm Springs District, alongside the modern logistics hubs that have grown around the Southern Pacific RR lines. Of particular note for local history is the Cedar Lawn Memorial Cemetery and the specialized campus of the Palmer Coll of Chiropractic W Campus near the Guadalupe River.
